Don't warn about adjusting offsets in the label to make the 'c' partition

Slight change to reverse collapsing so that vm_object_deallocate doesn't
have to be called recursively.
Removed half of a previous fix - the renamed page during a collapse doesn't
need to be marked dirty because the pager backing store pointers are copied
- thus preserving the page's data. This assumes that pages without backing
store are always dirty (except perhaps for when they are first zeroed, but
this doesn't matter).
Switch order of two lines of code so that the correct pager is removed
from the hash list. The previous code bogusly passed a NULL pointer to
vm_object_remove(). The call to vm_object_remove() should be unnecessary
if named anonymous objects were being dealt with correctly. They are
currently marked as OBJ_INTERNAL, which really screws up things (such as
this).
requires complications to adjust the offsets to relative when a block
containing the label is read and back to absolute when such a block is
written. The adjustment is not made on the whole disk slice.
Don't allow setting the offset of partition C to nonzero in in-core labels.
This will cause some (nonstandard) disktab entries to fail. They will
need to be changed to have relative offsets (and no partitions outside
of the slice).
Don't write protect the (nonexistent) label on the whole disk slice.
Writing labels and bootstraps should work right now (except if there is
no DOSpartition table).
just thinking about it.
Two changes need to be made to allow 'config kernel swap generic' to
work properly without requiring any compile-time flags:
/usr/src/usr.sbin/config/mkswapconf.c: we need to define a dummy stub
for the setconf() function to replace the one in swapgeneric.c that
isn't available in non-generic configurations.
/usr/src/sys/i386/i386/autoconf.c: the -a boot flag causes setroot()
to be skipped and lets setconf() prompt the user for a root device.
If you skip setroot() in a non-generic kernel, you could get severely
hosed. To avoid this, we silently ignore the -a flag if rootdev != NODEV.
(rootdev is always initialized to NODEV in swapgeneric.c, so if
we find that rootdev is something other than NODEV, we know we're
not using a generic configuration.)
2) bump reference counts by 2 instead of 1 so that an object deallocate
doesn't try to recursively collapse the object.
3) mark pages renamed during the collapse as dirty so that their contents
are preserved.

On the other hand, I doubt that we will have any solution to these issues

Slice 0 is now for the first BSD slice. The first BSD slice is
the first DOSpartition with id 0xa5 or the whole disk if their
are no DOSpartitions (except the latter is not yet implemented).
Existing partitions on it work the same as in 2.0 except the
'd' partition is no longer special and partitions are relative
to the skice.
Slice 1 is now for the whole disk and gets a read-only label
describing the disk. Previously, slice 0 was for the whole disk
and there was no label on it.
Slices 2-31 are for DOSpartitions. Slice 0 is an alias for one

mapping from numbers to names is messy for backwards compatibility.
E.g., for driver "sd", unit "0":

slice 1: omit the partition letter 'c' because the whole disk device
shouldn't have anything to do with partitions; sd0 is the
only name.
slices 2-31: subtract 1 from slice number to compensate for the
compatibility slice 0; names are sd0s[1-30][a-h].

It boots FreeBSD from a running MS-DOS system.
It's compiled using some MS-DOS tools, but there is a binary

with a solution for the problem. Just saying "this is bad" doesn't count!)
Rod, you were right: one would have to deal with weird interfaces to the

Christians README:
------------------
Hi Everybody!
This is version 1.5 of "fbsdboot", a program that allows you to boot a kernel
from a MS-DOS partition or a FreeBSD partition. This program runs using DOS.
It works with various memory managers (like EMM386, 386MAX) under certain
circumstances.
First, a FreeBSD kernel is always loaded to memory starting at 0x100000. To
assure that loading the kernel *does not* overwrite memory used by memory
managers, high memory for the kernel is allocated and after loading the kernel
it's moved to 0x100000.
Second, there are many ways to switch to protected mode which is necessary to
start the kernel. Each BIOS gives you the possibility to use INT15H (AH=89H)
to do that. But some memory-managers like 386max does not allow you to use
this method.
An other way to do the switch is to use DPMI services, but they do not
guarantee, that the protected mode application is executed with privilege
level 0. Therefore this method is *not* used.
VCPI services offer another way to switch to protected mode, and VCPI servers
are built into "emm386.exe", "386max" and "qemm". That's why, this method is
implemented in fbsdboot.exe.
Fbsdboot.exe tries to switch to protected mode using VCPI services. If they're
not available INT15H is used to do the switch. If that fails, it's not possible
for this version of fbsdboot.exe to boot a kernel :-(.
You can get commandline options of fbsdboot if you start it with "-?" as option!
I don't know, if fbsdboot works with QEMM, as I don't have the possibility to
test it.
Enjoy and have fun!
Christian.

Make conditionals on BIOSWAIT consistent with usage in io.c.
If you had 'BOOTWAIT=0' in your /etc/make.conf then biosboot wouldn't
compile. It was '#if' in io.c and '#ifdef' in probe_keyboard.c so I
changed the latter to '#if'.
Even if BOOTWAIT is undefined then '#if BOOTWAIT' becomes
'#if 0' so it should compile either way with this change.
